The global push-to-talk market size stood at USD 12.00 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 25.22 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period. Push-to-talk (PTT) is a communication method that allows users to transmit voice messages over a two-way radio or other communication device. With push-to-talk, the user presses a button to activate the microphone and speak, and releases the button to listen. This is in contrast to traditional two-way radio communication, where users must constantly hold down a button or switch to communicate.

Push-to-talk is commonly used in industries such as public safety, transportation, construction, and manufacturing, where reliable and efficient communication is critical. It allows users to quickly communicate with one another without having to dial a phone number or wait for a connection to be established.

In addition to two-way radios, push-to-talk functionality is also available on some mobile phones and messaging apps. For example, some smartphones have a dedicated push-to-talk button or app that allows users to communicate with individuals or groups in real-time.

Push-to-talk has several advantages over traditional communication methods. It is faster and more efficient, as users can communicate in real-time without having to wait for a connection to be established. It also allows for group communication, which is particularly useful in industries where teams need to coordinate their activities.

However, push-to-talk also has some limitations. It can be difficult to use in noisy environments, as background noise can interfere with the transmission of voice messages. It also requires users to be within range of each other, which can be a limitation in large or spread-out work environments.

Overall, push-to-talk is a valuable communication method that can provide a quick and efficient way for teams to communicate and coordinate their activities.
